Is there electricity at the campground for those of us that need jet fighter masks to sleep?

There is electricity at the pavilion (based on our experience last year).

My wife Lindsay is going to run the 5K, 10K or whatever foot race is going on for cheat fest. She's nursing a sprain right now so she's hoping she will be recovered enough to run this year. If any of your non-paddling spouses are thinking of going she would love to have someone go with her.

I'll be there with the Bus and we'll be arriving Friday night and paddling Saturday and Sunday.

If you are going to be up there in time for a paddle Friday post or pm.

I will be there. Getting in Friday evening.

I am going to try to get there by Friday noon.

I'm planning to go up Friday as well. I'm paddling Friday and Saturday, not sure where yet.

Gromit and I are dithering. What do y'all want to paddle on Friday?

Upper Yough for you too!!!!

Nope. Not anywhere near my radar. Y'all just want to see me swimming.

Sure does look like a lot of rain in the forecast, just sayin'

Just a reminder that I'm bringing a bunch of burgers and dogs for the cookout on Saturday evening. I'm getting buns as well. If you want condiments, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, or anything other than bread and meet I would recommend bringing a healthy portion of that topping(s) you want to share with the group.

I know we have these last name starts with _ you're bringing a side, salad, desert, main guidelines. Since I'm bringing the main I'd recommend the mains bring toppings.

I'll be staying at Pine Hill and ready to paddle Saturday morning so don't forget to call me when you're figuring out what exotics to run Saturday morning because the UY is blown out. Just sayin'
